Purchase of a new to me V70 D5 - your advice please
Good morning all
As an interim car for 1~2 years I’ve settled on taking a punt on a Auto D5 V70 up to 2005/6. There are quite a few to choose from, I’m posting here twofold in that I might get an opinion - likely! - or that someone is considering selling theirs which is known, like I knew my previous 740 and Amazon Estate. I’m quite handy with the spanners and have a mechanic friend, don’t mind consumables just trying to avoid the catastrophe. The nuts and bolts: Spec I’d like V70 D5 Auto 163bhp SE - is this the best option vs a winter pack? Xenon lights - I can manage with standard but night driving is better for me these days with brighter lights. Tow bar - not deal breaker but useful Colour, not black, green, plum, gold - ideally a grey/silver/blue. I’ve got to look at it and I’m thinking of resale. My Checklist (complied from previous VOC posts/requests) - thank you other members for taking the time to do that. V70 D5 Buyers Guide
